Re: Tubeless tires?
Rims made for tubeless tires have a small bead just in from where the bead of the tire sits and it's only on the "out side" of the rim. The theory is that if a car is suddenly put into a hard turn, such as trying to avoid an accident, the side loading on the tire could pull the tire far enough to break the air seal resulting in a blow out at precisely the wrong time. People who say that they've used them for years without a problem have never been in a situation requiring evasive measures. People who have had a tire failure during an evasive maneuver are probably not likely to post on this forum anymore.
